I finally got my Parisians today from an Ebay seller. It took over 6 weeks, I was beginning to give up hope! Anyway, I bought 3 sets of 011 - 048 for my long scale Dell'Arte Hommage. Beautiful warm tone! The guitar's previous owner had electric guitar strings on it. These sound and feel so much nicer.

I'm far from being a Gypsy Jazz player yet, aside from having learned the basic strum, which I prefer doing by "frailing" an alternating pattern with my thumb and my fingernails. I'm just trying this out with some simple Leon Redbone songs, to which I can do a slower Gypsy beat. A comfortable beginning, but I hope to challenge myself with more advanced suggestions as found here in your Forums.
